Gizmo Simulation Student Guidelines

Mr. Wagoner introduces a recorded lesson for an asynchronous day, sharing personal good news about the Packers. The lesson involves a Gizmo simulation on ecosystems, requiring students to register, log in, and complete tasks. Students must reflect on the simulation's impact on population dynamics. Instructions for accessing resources and class codes are provided, along with steps for logging in and enrolling in Gizmo. The lesson concludes with a reflection question and encouragement to explore further if time permits.

What is the main task for the biology class on this asynchronous day?

• Read a chapter from the textbook

• Participate in a group discussion

• Complete a written exam
